reality |
One God of which everything is a meaningful part

Created by lesser gods, greater spirit than our first makers, blinded by a counterfeit soul. Sadducee priests are fundamentally evil, wearing robes of priests, but really satanists. Jewish god of old testament is not really god, but satan pretending to be God.
